SAULT STE. MARIE, ONT. - It was a wing special one postman could have done without.

A mail carrier in the border town of Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., was attacked by a chicken while on his route Wednesday.

According to police, several chickens were wandering around the front yard and bushes when the postman approached the door to deliver mail. That's when one chicken appeared from under the porch and attacked him.

It's not known if he was injured. The postal carrier left before police arrived.

The county's animal control was contacted, but it is not known if there will be any follow-up investigation.

I guess he would get short shrift if he came before the beak and probably the fine wouldn't be chicken feed.

I would get my coat but I'm already wearing it :oops:
